I've Got Norma Shearer on My Mind

Lately I've been infatuated with the high-waisted skirt look. Ever since I wrote that entry about scarves, the image of Norma Shearer leaning against a wall has stuck with me. She's wearing what looks like a knit blouse over a high-waisted skirt and a skinny belt (not to mention a fabulous belt and an infectious smile). I'm still working on the scarves, but over the past few weeks I've been drawn to those skirts with, well, knit tops.

Top: Thrifted (Its my sister's:)

Skirt: Forever 21

Belt: Thrifted (The Garment District)

Boots: Stonefly

Sweater: Thrifted (GoodWill)

Skirt: Thrifted (Boomerang)

Boots: Stonefly

Tights: American Apparel

I tried the drop-waist look, but alas still think that it just doesn't look right on me. Maybe I just haven't tried the right combinations yet. And when I wore a scarf to work the other day (layered over a long, thin sweater, layered over a dress) I got a weird look from one of my co-workers. I will keep trying though and eventually work those lovely items into my wardrobe more successfully. That's part of the fun, right?
